IVR Technologies announces that they have added a Google Android compatible version to their popular Talking SIP Mobile smartphone line. Talking SIP Mobile is available on leading smartphone platforms like Blackberry, Windows Mobile, iPhone and now Google Android to facilitate direct and callback calling from a mobile handset at significant cost savings over the typically exorbitant mobile international long distance rates charged by mobile carriers. Talking SIP Mobile smartphone applications are just some of the many in-demand and innovative services offered on the Talking SIP solution, which offers a fully integrated application, media and billing server, to drive revenue and higher margin to service providers’ next-generation networks.

Today’s mobile calling plans offer economical local and domestic calling, while international long distance calling is still prohibitively expensive - especially when roaming. Unfortunately, more cost-effective solutions for mobile users, such as calling cards and fixed-mobile convergence, are cumbersome and protract the calling process. On the other hand, the Talking SIP Mobile smartphone application provides an extremely simple and straightforward way to make long distance calls while at the same time realizing significant cost savings.

Talking SIP Mobile for the Google Android OS provides tight integration to the phone’s native dialer to allow the option of configuring a series of rules to govern when the application is used. Once configured, the user simply dials as they normally would on the telephone’s keypad or from the Contact list and Talking SIP Mobile, working in the background, will seamlessly determine how the call should be serviced based on these rules.

By offering applications that are so tightly integrated into the phone, mobile users can now make international long distance calls in the same manner and with the same quality as regular calls but at significant cost savings. In addition, next-generation service providers are able to drive additional revenue and margin to their networks by capturing long distance traffic that is currently being serviced by mobile carriers. The Talking SIP solution can service calling card and callback requests from mobile subscribers located anywhere in the world - thus removing any and all geographic boundaries to the service provider’s target market.
